Important Information
Indications
A series of Glycolic acid skin peels is ideal for Eczema & Dermatitis, Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Razor Bumps, Stretch Marks and Tone & Texture
Ingredients
Glycolic Acid (35%), deionized water, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, propylene glycol. No Animal Testing. Made in the USA.
Directions
Quickly apply the product to the treatment area, avoiding the eyes and mouth. Allow initial contact time of 1 minute, remove with copious amounts of water. Adjust time as skin tolerance increases. If persistent redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use. Follow peel treatment with SPF and moisturizer. The goal with a safe peeling regimen is to cause the skin to come off in a controlled way, with each peel taking off a few more layers of accumulated skin. With each application of the peel, the results are incremental. You should notice results within the first couple of applications, and the tone and texture of your skin will continue to improve as the layers of old skin are slowly removed to reveal new skin beneath.

Product Description
Glycolic Acid is a superficial peeling agent that is made from sugar cane. It is often considered the most active and beneficial of the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids (AHA).
Glycolic/35 works beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Working below the surface there is generally very little visible peeling with the Glycolic/35.
With repetitive and continuous use, improvement to skin tone and texture occurs.
Once inside the skin's cell, glycolic acid will serve as a catalyst for the formation of new collagen which will reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin's surface.
Glycolic acid has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, melasma, actinic keratosis, acne, and oily skin, as well as other cosmetic uses.

My skin and I haven't been on speaking terms for years. Horrible, brutal, stubborn, disfiguring cystic acne, so viciously tenacious that I had to go through...yes, count 'em...not one, but TWO rounds of Accutane to rid my self of it, and I STILL get a nice cyst on my back or chest every once in a while. I had pockmarks on top of pockmarks...forehead, cheeks, temples, chin, bridge of my nose even. I hate my skin, I really do. I've gone through 2 deep dermabrasions (through a plastic surgeon, not the micro kind), plus about 30 DEEP chemical peels. My scarring improved a lot.
But professional options get expensive, and taking weeks at a time off while my skin healed wasn't feasible. So I tried other methods to get rid of the rest of the scarring.
Over-the-counter products like Mederma didn't help. Then as I aged, I got grayish, blotchy, dull, oily-here-wrinkly-there skin to add to my scars.
Lovely.
I've used salicylic acid, makes my skin red and papery. I've used Mederma, nothing.
Sorry for the big lead in, but I wanted to give y'all a good idea of what I was already "facing" (sorry for the bad pun).
I saw this Skin Laboratories 35% Glycolic Acid peel advertised, decided it certainly couldn't hurt.
Bought it, received it very quickly, followed the easy-to-follow directions, love it. The lifeless, grayish appearance of my skin is gone. My smaller scars and pores are much diminished, after only 5 weeks of use, so much so that I can actually COUNT the number of scars I have left. (There were so many before, it was useless to count).
I will admit, I modified the instructions to fit my needs. I leave it on ten minutes at a time. Remember, I am a veteran of strong deep (EXPENSIVE) professional chemical peels, so my skin is quite tolerant to acid. I don't get a visible see-your-skin-flake-off "peel" from this product either (something a few of you have complained about), but that's so much the better! I don't have to miss work for a week at a time to let my skin heal, like with the strong chemical peels. But believe me, the skin cells ARE sloughing off and being replaced. You know how that 10 pounds just snuck up on you after the holidays, and you didn't notice? The skin rejuvenation you will get using this product is the same way: you don't notice it until it's done it's work.
I use this product once a week. After next week (my 6th), I'll wait a month before I go through the cycle again.
I'm also going to start using this product on my chest, which of course, is also scarred and weather-beaten.
Skin Laboratories, I Bow Before You. This is a superior product.

I always tend to stay away from chemical peels because of the horror stories I hear and because I have fair, oily, acne prone skin.
I purchased the 35% peel just to try it; to see if I'm missing anything. I'm sorry I didn't have the guts to try it sooner. :o)
It is absolutely fantastic. I had a couple of breakouts I could not, for the life of me, get rid of. I put this on with a cotton ball, and I did wait the full 4 minutes; it tingled, but did not burn in any way. I washed it off and thought "okay, no miracles here". My face did feel smoother but that's about it.
The next two days I noticed quite the improvement. My chin cleared up and my face was, again, smoother, and more even and most importantly, no breakouts. I did not need to even put on powder (which I did not live without).
You do have to use a moisturizer after the peel. I did the first time, but because my face is oily, I didn't use one the second time. BIG mistake! My face was red and it still tingled 20 minutes after I rinsed off the peel.
As soon as I put moisturizer on, my face felt better and the redness went away.
This peel works wonders for me. I will keep on using it. It's definitely worth the money.

I have been using this product for a month to treat hyperpigmentation from pregnancy. I think the best way to apply this product is with a fan brush, with that being said I purchased my brush from a local craft store for $3 & it worked great. This product is a gel, but not in a thick hair gel sort of way, this product has the consistency of pancake syrup. If you apply this product & find it running into your eyes or down your face you are applying way too much product, all I needed was about a nickel sized amount of this gel to cover my whole face. I use the product every 5 to 7 days, and even though they send a small bottle that is enough for many applications.
It is not advised that you exfoliate your skin prior to using this product. I wash my face with a gentle cleanser & then wait an hour before I apply the product. Prior to application I put petroleum jelly around my hair line, around & on my lips, and on the tip and corners of my nose. I read and followed the directions that came with it, I also have very pale & sensitive skin. Don't try to "get your money's worth" by leaving this product on longer, it is an acid you will burn yourself, it's only $18 don't be foolish.
Using the fan brush coat your forehead first & then your cheeks. The 1st time I used it I left it on for 2 minutes, I felt a light sting and was aware I had something on my face, on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst pain & 1 being little to no pain, the pain was barely a 1. I rinsed my face with tap water for about 3 minutes followed by splashing my face with water in the sink that had 2 tabelspoons of baking soda in it to neutralize any traces of the chemical on my face. I paid special attention that I got it all off around my hairline & under my jaw.
With that being said for the ladies avoid applying this product near or during "that time of the month". That is when I applied this product for the 2nd time, my pain was a good 3 out of 10, a marked difference from the 1st time I applied it. No adverse reaction just an increased sensitivity to pain.
You won't see immediate results, in fact my face was never even really dry enough to bother me, my skin did look a little dull for a couple of days. What I did notice 5 days later was a thin layer of skin sloughing off after I got out of the shower & I was using a rough towel drying my face. My skin afterwards was very peachy, bright & refreshed looking. So this peel isn't life changing, it has nice results, but you have to ask yourself, do you really want to apply an acid strong enough to eat away two layers of skin that you bought off the internet in your home? Um..NO, so start off with baby steps, you may have to apply this product more times to achieve the look of a deeper peel, but you'll also avoid hurting yourself in the process.
